Faisal S Hazis has written a three-part article in Malay explaining what’s at stake in the Selangor political crisis. He lays out bare what would happen in a Selangor state election and a future general election if Pas decides to break away from Pakatan.

Unfortunately, it is not a happy scenario for those who had hoped a two-party system would bring about real change. The real winner will be not be Pakatan or even Pas; it will be Umno-BN.

Yes, you are perfectly right that the one that will be the winner, I might add to say, will be Umno without even having to life a finger. All these are the results of a greedy AI, even before this jail bound Umno mentor. What does this all show ? AI is not really interested to bring to this nation real democracy, all he wants is to be the PM and when that did not happen he then turns to the next best position in the country, the MB of Selangor. Even it means the chaos his greed and the destruction of the opposition his aspiration will bring or shall I say at any cost.
What a shamble it is to the only visible chance of an opposition to this country, but it is also a chance for a real and creditable opposition to be formed before the next GE without AI. It is a chance for an opposition to contest without having to give AI the illusion that all the votes PKR in the last GE got were because of him. Please remember most, if not all, the votes casted were an opposition to Umno and all the lackeys within the so called BN.
Therefore stop wasting your time any further, just start planning how to fight the next GE without AI. Ride with the tide that the voters are fed up with Umno and all the lackeys in BN and will, without a doubt, vote for you.
No one in this world is indispensable and that the world will continue to spin with or without AI !
